Do you honestly think Spiderguard wouldn't beat Stephen Thompson? I think he would easily.

I'd like to see Thompson against an aggressive striker like Erick Silva next.

Everybody getting on Thompsons back is ridiculous man. The guy will improve with that loss and will learn this isn't K1/fighting a can/fighting a fighter with no ground game. I thought he would lose soon but I thought he'd get past Brown.

Another really ****** start.  Usually I do better at the big shows, but the past couple nights have been rough.


Glad that Matt Brown won though, one of my all time favorites fighters there
